Abstract: |
Three areas, A to C, were investigated by resistivity and two areas examined using GPR. Major problems were encountered in Area B due to the presence of buried electric cables and a nearby transformer. Partly because of this, and due to the alignment of the friary walls, the area was re-surveyed by the resistance technique with the grid rotated by 45 degrees. The resistivity survey provided a clear plan of part of the friary complex, specifically the western half of the cloisters, and additionally identified numerous wall foundations, presumably also associated with monastic structures. In the smaller survey areas, A and C, a few anomalies of interest were highlighted but their interpretation remains uncertain due to the restricted area that could be investigated. The GPR successfully identified walls east of the school library and indicated that structural remains of the friary church are likely to survive below the car park to the west of the library. |
